Does Family Of Origin Stuff Merit In Workplace Management In 2014 ?

By Ronald Kubitz


According to one saying, "managers are born and not made" there was an innate quality that managers had since they were in the mother's womb. Essentially, it is a fact that each manager knows. According to books, a manager is not a perfect person but there are chances to be like it. Do you know the tactic? Do you know Mr. Sam Walton? If not, then you might be missing the best topic of management and style that once molded a team of employees in one particular retail store.

To tell you the truth, Mr. Sam Walton was a person behind those innovations and techniques in marketing and business retails. Some people will tell you that in 2014 there are few opportunities to be had and it was "easier before". Others with a different and more progressive mindset will say that there are actually a ton more opportunities and simply by being aware with the 24/7 easy access we have to news & media sources on-line there are a myriad and even tons to more projects and money making avenues to he had. He was also the founder of giant industry Wal-Mart and produced small retail stores of K-Mart. He was one of the best examples of a wise manager and a customer at the same time. Do you know how? Actually, there was one point in his life that he had to do one crucial task in order to satisfy his curiosity. When he visited one branch of K-Mart, he took his voice recorder and camera with him. He captured every work that a team of employees did, recorded every loud noise and conversations of some personnel and observed what he did without their boss in charge.

Actually, the employees became productive and independent to work for themselves. They worked for their own good, finished their daily jobs without failures and focused on what they supposed to do without their boss. Honestly, the strategy of Mr. Sam Walton also shaped them to become a better persons and competitive personnel. Do you the reason why? It was because every single move was captured and every giggle in silence and laughter was recorded. Mr. Walton observed whatever they do in the workplace.

Another point of this strategy was delegation of work. Do you know what it means when it comes to management? Well, it implies that every worker has a task and a job that is equally divided with one another. Actually, no one is willing to work harder than other, unless that person ranks higher in position. What does it feel to work in a harmonious way with no job issues? Why does a word 'self-governing' important to a marketing team? Why it is needed in governing retail stores and small groceries?

The simple point is motivation. If there is no reward, no CCTV, no voice recorder and anything, the workers are expected to work less without supervisions and daily visitation. Actually, it is also very hard to check the workers from time to time, examine what they are doing and demonstrate every work they should supposed to do. However, if they know how to practice 'self-governing' like the personnel of Mr. Sam Walton then there is no visible problem to take place.
